In the name of Kip McKean

To the novice, if any man other than Jesus Christ, demands Loyalty (with a capital ‘L’); Worship and Reverence; such a man violates the first three of the Ten Commandments; at best just know you deal with a Cult Leader! And run for your life!

Get Your Real Answers Here…

Kip McKean’s Cyber-Ministry scored undoubtedly the largest victory when they managed to obtain full name rights of KipMcKean.com. The website first belonged to Jen Chambers who now runs SP.com. McKean’s followers rejoiced because according to them, it will mark the end of the worst persecution we’ve received from any website on the internet!

It appears McKean got his victory because the website hold his name and according to them, Chambers – has falsified herself as Kip with her website kipmckean.com.

Another stupendous article by Ron Harding, title, “History Speaks For Itself” indicates all the inner workings of a cult in the making! The basic elements such as loyalty-worship-and reverence for the Leader (with a capital ‘L’) are clearly present. Indeed, repetitively, history speaks for itself! The archived article in my view offers the following detraction found somewhere in Exodus.

I am Kip McKean, your true Leader who brought you out of the dying Churches of Christ, out of mainline slavery and autonomy!

You shall have no false websites before me.

You shall not make for yourself a website to ‘go anywhere, do anything, and give up everything’ for such a slogan bears my intellectual property and persona. Remember, it is only I; Kip McKean who still believe world evangelism is possible!

You shall not submit to ‘Absolamic followers’ or worship with them; for I, Kip your Leader, am a jealous Leader, punishing any one who hates me, but showing love to those who follows my core convictions.

You shall not ‘through deception, out-right lies, and a complete distortion of the truth’ misuse the name of Kip McKean, for our new ‘Kingdom attorney’, Xavier Davis and our Cyber-Evangelist Ron Harding will hold anyone guiltless who ‘violate the rights of Kip.’

In the name of Kip McKean, no website ‘will no longer violate the rights of Kip – pictures and quotes – and our movement by using copyrighted and unauthorized content from our any of our websites.’

By Order of Some ‘Odd’ Movement’s shenanigans

PS: What is in a name? For all attention and purposes, please take note that this blog is not Kip McKean’s nor will it ever become his domain! The name ‘Kip McKean’ was available on blogspot! First-come, first-served! Here, I reflect as a former member on the subject matter of Kip McKean and put my views for all to read. That simple!

MY TOPIC of DISCUSSION

Next article to follow: "SP4 - The Lion on the Web Never Sleeps". Here I'll expose Mike Taliaferro's take on 'spiritual pornography'.

Mike was formerly the ICOC Geographic Sector Leader (GSL) in Africa and Lead Evangelist of the Johannesburg International Churches of Christ, known today as the Johannesburg Church of Christ.

Notice the dropping of "International" due to the decentralization process that happened during the S.A.D interval covering the period of the Count-out Years from 2001 to 2003. Here, during the interval of the Count-out Years, Kip McKean took a 'S'abbatical in 2001. An 'A'nnouncement' followed in 2002 explaining the McKean's resignation. By 2003 the ICOC had 'D'ecentralized'.

This S.A.D. interval impact on ICOC American leadership working abroad was detrimental to the ICOC Missions outside the U.S.

Suddenly leadership abroad were forced to return to obscurity due to lack of congregational U.S. ICOC funds and support from local congregations.

Mike relocated with his family to San Antonio, Texas since the aftermath of the Kriete Letter in 2003. His family had lived in the city of Johannesburg since 1993.

The 'title' GSL had become irrelevant but not the ICOC role of 'Lead Evangelist.' Mike is currently the Lead Evangelist of the Mission Point Christian Church in San Antonio.

Mike shares other high profile responsibilities such as serving the ICOC Unity Proposal Group. He has authored several ICOC books, like The Lion Never Sleeps. It is told 250 000 books by Taliaferro have been sold! Mike serve as a video editor for ICOCHotNews along with his loyal friend, Justin Renton of the Johannesburg Church of Christ.

Mike was instrumental with the idea to return to former ICOC discipleship policies and shepherding techniques in 2005. If this is an indication by taking a step 'backward' to 'old school' ICOC policies then it merits to investigate Mike's philosophy about 'spiritual pornography.'

Be sure to watch this space for my next article concerning Mike's view on 'spiritual pornography.'

Why after all these years still posting about McKean and his devotees?

I've given 10 years of my life to a cult!

All my youthful 20s spend for nothing - the ICOC world evangelization for Christ, a cause believed by the South Africa ICOC to be bigger than Nelson Mandela's incarceration came to nothing. It failed because the men and women failed to act like true ambassadors of Christ.

The ‘truth’ was wrapped in the hands of men despite calling their church movement “not a movement of men, but a movement of God.”

The ICOC has reemerged. The dangers of this cult of control relying on shepherding techniques cannot for one moment be under estimated. Their doctrinal policies of discipleship and reliance on mainline Church of Christ doctrine strictly adhering to baptismal regeneration, one church policy, dating and marrying only members of the group and believing to be the only biblically saved will ensnare thousands and keep thousands faithful to the group.

The truth is the ICOC has died in 2003 as a movement. However, two factions have emerged with Kip McKean leading the pro-McKean faction known as the International Christian Churches (ICC). Another faction against McKean as leader with a capital “L” formed the anti-McKean faction better known as the ICOC Co-operational Churches (ICOC).
